Alan will be appearing at a series of Record In-store signings to meet fans, chat and take photos. With free entry, these events have been timed so that no-one will miss the main Recoil show later in the evening. Try to catch one of the following and don't forget to bring your Recoil and DM items along if you want to get something signed.

Plenty of these have already been set up to enable each Recoil night to be extended with extra activities, DJs added, late bar, plus meet and greet sessions with all the performers from the evening. Don't miss the fun!

Parties are being added all the time and entry is free with a purchased Recoil show ticket, so here is a comprensive list of what we have confirmed so far, mainly to be held at the main event venue but occasionally in an alternative room or location nearby.

We have some VERY exciting news - Recoil's show in Bogota, Colombia will now be a late performance, as part of an official Recoil/Massive Attack event.

This one-off happening will now take place at the changed venue Antiguo Siam and is designed to celebrate both bands being in the same city on the same evening. The event has been officially sanctioned by both artists and promises to be a great combination. Massive Attack will be playing earlier at Coliseo El Campin as part of their Heligoland tour, and that performance will be followed by Recoil's later to allow everyone to come along and enjoy both bands on the same evening! Recoil's show will be everything that it should be but the event will also act as the after-party for Massive Attack - a perfect opportunity for fans of both to get together in celebration. We very much hope that Robert Del Naja, Grant Marshall and the rest of their touring band will be taking part.

As with the Gary Numan double bill in Chicago, rather than detract from each other's crowd, we have worked together with the Massive Attack team to ensure that anyone wishing to attend both events will be able to do so.

Says Alan "I'm even hoping to see their set myself before heading off to play after. Obviously Massive Attack's audience is very similar to Recoil's and we wouldn't want anyone to miss out on this unique possibility."

All the details are below:

'A Strange Hour' will be presented in Bogota at Antiguo Siam on November 12th - and there will be significant ticket discounts for attendees of both shows.

Go here to see a report from an amazing night with Recoil, Martin Gore, Architect and Conjure One. An evening which included backstage Arsenal v QPR football play-offs, Recoil mashing up DM, Martin rocking the crowd with his DJ set, and Architect's 'Murderous' nods to Nitzer Ebb, who also turned up with Alessandro Cortini to complete a veritable electronic mastermind class!

Tickets are almost sold out for most shows on the rest of the tour but we can tell you that there are a limited number still available to catch it all again in Toronto at The Opera House on Wednesday night (27th October).

Full details below:

Says Alan: "I had a great time on the West Coast and now we are really looking forward to playing Recoil's first ever date in Canada. The Opera House is a special venue by all accounts. Hope to see you all there!"

Unfortunately, due to a variety of issues, Recoil is unable to fulfil it's engagement at Club Soda in Montreal on Thursday (28th October). Full refunds will be available.

Alan comments: "So far on the 'Selected' tour we have experienced almost totally sold out shows in nearly every city across Europe & North America, which is why it is inexplicable that sales in Montreal were disappointing. It's difficult to understand since I am led to believe there is a strong electronic scene in the city. I can only surmise that people were not made aware that 'A Strange Hour' was coming to Montreal. Despite repeatedly expressing our concerns to the local promoter, the event went on sale very late in the day and, clearly, not enough time or effort was allocated to promote it properly. I sincerely apologise to disappointed fans but the situation became unworkable and we would do it very differently next time. I will definitely be looking at ways we can re-arrange an event in Montreal under the right circumstances but right now, there is no chance to reschedule due to commitments elsewhere."

There is still a handful of tickets left for Hamilton at This Ain't Hollywood tonight (29th October) so get them fast if you want to catch Recoil's final Canadian date. Details below:

29/10/10 – ‘Selected Events’ : Baltimore Halloween party / New York final show !

Go here for a quick video report & update from Alan about the final dates on Recoil’s North American tour. It’s nearly Halloween so get along (in fancy dress) to the Recoil party event in Baltimore at Bourbon St on 31st October. Along with Recoil, Architect and Conjure One, we also have The Perfects on the bill.

For the closing event in New York, Alan has invited Nicole Blackman to join him on stage and he says there may be some other very special guests showing up for the evening;) – don’t miss this one. It takes place at Highline Ballroom on 01st November. Join us for this final celebration before ‘A Strange Hour’ heads off to South America! – there are still some tickets available…

Recoil has just completed the most exotic leg yet of the 'Selected' tour with some outstanding events across North and South America, including many sold out shows and some real highlights - Martin Gore joining us to DJ in Santa Ana, an amazing double bill with Gary Numan in Chicago, Daniel Myer surprising everyone each night with his unique Architect mash-ups, Dave Gahan and Nicole Blackman showing up in New York, Joe Richardson entertaining and educating in Dallas, and Alessandro Cortini mesmerising in Los Angeles.

This was all followed by some astonishing crowd reactions as the tour continued it's way through Chile, Argentina, Brazil, Peru, Colombia (where Massive Attack attended) and finished up in Ecuador.

Watch Alan's latest video update here which captures plenty of the South American fiesta atmosphere.

Now, Alan is bringing the updated version of 'A Strange Hour' back to Europe for a final end-of-year series of celebrations before the Recoil live experience takes a well-earned break for Xmas. As usual, Alan will also be available for meet & greet signing sessions after the performances at each event.

Beginning in Berlin at Postbahnhof on Friday 26th November and in Dresden at Zeitenstroemung on Saturday 27th November, we have more special guests planned, including Gary Numan and Ade Fenton, Architect, Sono and Northern Kind.

Full details below. Note: tickets for Berlin are very close to sold out already and Dresden is following suit, so do not delay.

We have just been informed that there has been date changes for the following shows. Here is a statement released by BTTP:

Due to unforeseen production issues and illness to key people, it is with regret that Back To The Phuture Live and Dennis Music have reluctantly decided to postpone the shows at Manchester Academy on 2nd December and London Troxy on 3 December until the New Year.

Everyone involved in these events is extremely disappointed, however we have rescheduled the events as follows ; Manchester Academy on Fri April 1st, and London Troxy on Sat April 2nd.

All tickets will be valid for these rescheduled dates. If necessary, refunds are also available from the point of purchase.

Both shows will feature live performances by Gary Numan and Recoil in Manchester, and John Foxx at the London show.

Motor will also play at both events, as will Richard H Kirk (Cabaret Voltaire/Warp), and Mark Jones will be spinning seminal machine music from the past, present and future.

Back To The Phuture started out as a radio show on BBC 6 Music in 2009. The acclaimed program links the synth pioneers with today's electro artists in celebration of 30 years of daring electronics. Mark Jones has delivered entertaining and educational radio shows with guests including Arthur Baker, Phil Oakey (The Human League), Daniel Miller (Mute Records), Gary Numan, Martyn Ware (Heaven 17), Andy McLuskey and Paul Humphries (OMD), Steve Strange (Visage) and August Darnell (Kid Creole and the Coconuts).

Don't miss the very last two shows of Recoil's 'Selected Events 2010' tour coming up next weekend.

We nearly missed a show ourselves on Monday when snow hit the roads hard and extended what should have been a quick drive from Berlin to Warsaw into a 14-hour marathon!

Alan and the team eventually crawled in at 10pm, set up the gear without a soundcheck in front of a good-natured and expectant crowd, and then proceeded to perform immediately with (luckily) only a few minor hitches. We're happy to say that those who braved minus 10 degrees to come out were rewarded and warmed by the end of the night, with everyone trudging home happily in the snow at around 3am.

In the light of this early Eastern European freeze, Recoil will be arriving in Bratislava and Budapest with plenty of time to spare in order to fulfil the very last two engagements, followed by a party in Prague to celebrate what has been a fantastic year presenting 'A Strange Hour' in all corners of the globe. There are still a few tickets available so try to make it along. In Bratislava, we will be joined by special guests The Autumnist - brainchild of Vlado Durajka.

For the very final presentation of 'A Strange Hour', Alan and the Recoil team have decided to install an extra large, fully professional cinema screen and projector at the newly-renovated venue 'Szikra' in Budapest.

The screen will measure a giant 8 x 5 meters and will cover the entire stage area. The performance is also planned to be filmed using multi-cameras and the latest high-definition technology in order to capture the event in its full glory.

How and when 'A Strange Hour' will be released is yet to be determined but you can be sure that at some stage, you will see the culmination of a year's work made available on some kind of DVD/Blu-ray format, perhaps as part documentary or maybe as a concert film.

There are still a few tickets available for this final show on Saturday - if you're nearby and the snow doesn't get you, try to come along and be a part of this unique one-off spectacle. We expect 'A Strange Hour' to look and sound particularly special on this evening.

Mátyás Milkovics from Hungarian band Neo will also be joining the event to play an acoustic set, and later Alan, Paul and the whole team will be around to celebrate the end of the tour with the fans, and there will various DJs keeping the evening going until late. DO NOT miss this one!

A message from Alan: "It's been an incredible year with many many ups and only a couple of minor 'downs' due to some travel chaos. Without fail, audiences have been warm and appreciative everywhere. To get out there again and put so many faces to names has been a real highlight - much more enjoyable than I could ever have imagined. Thank you so much for all the encouragement and good vibes - it's been emotional. Let's hope we can do it again soon."

For anyone suffering Recoil withdrawal, here is a timely reminder that an extra performance of 'A Strange Hour' is still to take place as part of the Back to the Phuture festival in April.

The festival comprises of two shows, due to take place at Academy 1 - Manchester on Friday April 1st and Troxy - London on Saturday April 2nd, with live performances by Gary Numan and RECOIL in Manchester, and John Foxx at the London show.

Motor will also play at both dates, as will Richard H. Kirk (Cabaret Voltaire/Warp), and Mark Jones will be spinning seminal machine music from the past, present and future - his sets paying special attention to new talent like Hurts, Villa Nah, La Roux, Little Boots, Penguin Prison and Ellie Golding.

Back To The Phuture started out as a radio show on BBC 6 Music in 2009. The acclaimed program links the synth pioneers with today's electro artists in celebration of 30 years of daring electronics. Mark Jones has delivered entertaining and educational radio shows with guests including Arthur Baker, Phil Oakey (The Human League), Daniel Miller (Mute Records), Gary Numan, Martyn Ware (Heaven 17), Andy McLuskey and Paul Humphries (OMD), Steve Strange (Visage) and August Darnell (Kid Creole and the Coconuts).

Here are some exciting links to help you find out more details, sample the music, and take part in competitions associated with the event.

Having completed a hugely successful year in 2010 with some outstanding events across Europe, North and South America, Recoil's 'Selected Events' tour returns this year with some additional performances across Europe.

Now, Alan is bringing the updated version of 'A Strange Hour' once again to several new European cities. If you missed the presentations last time out, now is your chance to catch up, with perhaps one or two further changes and definitely some special guests.

As usual, Alan should also be available for meet and greet signing sessions after the performances at each event.

After the BTTP festival in Manchester with Gary Numan & Motor, the new shows continue on in Vilnius, Lithuania at Forum Palace on Tuesday 10th May and in Ventspils, Latvia at The Centre of Performing Arts – “Juras Varti” on Wednesday 11th May.

Says Alan: “Last year was a lot of fun and very different for me to be out on the road so much. Even so, there were places which we never got to for one reason or another and now we have a chance to fill in those gaps, which is why I’m delighted to add a few more events. We have the unusual Mute night to prepare for (with maybe a surprise or two) and then these extra dates in cities I have never visited before. I’m very excited to be visiting both Lithuania and Latvia. We also hope to add some more events over the coming weeks.”

A further event has now been added to Recoil's upcoming European mini-tour where Alan will be presenting the updated version of 'A Strange Hour'.

Recoil will take part in the Summerjam festival in Paris at Le Zénith on Saturday 11th June.

The Summerjam (Save the Forest) festival is an initiative to help reforestation around the world and there are plans to hold more events in Australia, America and Africa later this year. One ticket sold = One tree seeded. The Paris festival offers an opportunity to seed 7000 trees around the world in one evening!

Here is a line up of some of the confirmed acts taking part at Summerjam this year :

We are very pleased to announce that Recoil will be taking part in this year's Wave Gotik Treffen in Leipzig. Alan and Paul Kendall will be presenting a full set - the updated version of 'A Strange Hour'.

Wave Gotik Treffen 2011 will run between 10th and 13th June, 2011

WGT is an annual world festival for 'dark' music & arts and attracts around 20,000 people each year. 150+ artists from various backgrounds (Rock, EBM, Industrial, Noise, Darkwave, Experimental, Electronic, Punk, Gothic, Death-rock, Neo-folk, Neo-classical and Medieval ) play at many venues throughout the city during 4 days over the Whitsun (or 'Pfingsten') weekend.

Headliners play at the 10,000 capacity Agra (where Recoil will appear) while others play in the dozen-or-more varied venues around the city, from the stately 'Schauspielhaus' to the somber 'Krypta', the 'Völkerschlachtdenkmal', or under the trees in the 'Parkbühne'.

The festival also features Renaissance fairs, Viking & Pagan markets, CD/DVD & film premieres, literary readings, artist signings, brunches celebrating Absinthe, and fetishistic 'happenings' - as well as access to many late night dance clubs such as 'Darkflower' or 'Moritzbastei' with top-name DJs.

A first attempt at a 'treffen' (meeting) was made in 1987 in Potsdam. However, as the laws of the GDR determined this kind of gathering illegal, only a few hundred visitors attended. In 1992, after the re-unification of Germany, the first official WGT was held in the 'Eiskeller' club in Leipzig. Since then, the number of visitors has increased greatly. The largest instalment was in 2000 with over 300 acts and an estimated 25,000 visitors - however, that year's festival suffered financial collapse on the third day and had to be aborted. After all festival security guards, most bands and much of the technical staff had left, volunteers and several remaining artists staged a free final concert. Contrary to police expectations, no rioting of any sort occurred and the final day of the festival witnessed huge celebratory scenes which cemented the festival's on-going prestige.

Note : Festival goers typically stay either in designated camping areas outside the Agra venue or in the hotels and hostels in and around Leipzig. To use the camping areas, you'll need to purchase an 'Obsorgekarte'. All participants in this scheme will be issued with a wrist band which entitles you to free local public transportation.

Finally, here is the list of confirmed dates so far for Recoil's 2011 tour :
